Get to Know Propane
Whether you already use propane or you're thinking about making the switch, it helps to know how it works and what it can do. Explore helpful information from Gas Works about propane, your equipment, safety and getting more from propane around your home.
Why Propane?
One Fuel. A Lot of Possibilities.
Propane is one of the most versatile ways to power your home. It can provide heat and hot water, fuel your stove and fireplace, keep a standby generator ready, heat your pool, and power outdoor appliances.
That flexibility means homeowners can use one energy source for many of the things they rely on every day. And because propane can be stored right on your property, it's there when you need it.
Thinking About Switching From Oil?
If you currently heat with oil, propane offers a cleaner-burning, cost-effective fuel choice with the flexibility to do more throughout your home. From home heating and hot water to cooking, fireplaces, generators, and other appliances, one propane supply can support a variety of needs.
Gas Works specializes in helping homeowners make the transition from oil to propane. Explore the benefits of making the switch, what goes into a conversion, and what to consider when deciding if propane is the right choice for your home.
Propane Safety
Know Your Propane. Know What to Do.
Propane can be used safely throughout your home, but every propane customer should understand the basics.
Know what propane smells like, what to do if you suspect a leak, and when to leave maintenance or repairs to a trained professional. A little knowledge goes a long way toward keeping your propane system operating safely.
